It was really a very pleasant night.
The first-class ingredients from Yuma City, the fragrant wine from the ancient wine cellar, and the exotic food prepared by Jihuan and Grandpa... Ajin... No, Laura's preparation is fantastic!
"Thank you for your hard work, Laura." Jihuan sincerely thanked Laura.
Raising his eyebrows, Ajin stood behind Jihuan and didn't say a word, but the black egg in his arms couldn't help but poked Chiu Chiu.
"Tweet, Dandan and Ah Jin went out to buy curtains! Ah Jin said that choosing curtains and furniture is a more important job~"
↑
This is to show that he is definitely not lazy, but to do more important work under the advice of Jiu Ma.
Ji Huan glanced at A Jin, then touched Heidan's face for a while and said, "Then let me see the sheets and furniture that Heidan bought in the afternoon."
Heidan poked Ajin's chest and asked to come down. After landing, he stood on tiptoe and took Jihuan to show his newly bought furniture in the house.
This is a green house.
"Ajin said, this is Dandan's study." The first thing the little monster showed off was his study. The small green bookshelf was already filled with Heidan's collections over the years, although they were all children's picture books. The number is not particularly large, but the arrangement is still neat!
"This is Dandan's studio." Heidan then pushed open another room, which contained a brand-new easel of children's size. The walls were covered with various pictures that Heidan had drawn before, among them, Jihuan's portrait took up half of the room. , When I entered the door and saw so much of myself, Rao was Jihuan who had always been calm, but also had a strange feeling.
But the black egg quickly pushed open the third room excitedly.
"This is Eggy's playroom! Later, when Xiaohong comes over, you can play with Eggy here!" The third room is the largest, and there are many brand-new toys in it. Those didn't fall either. There is even a green pseudo-turf carpet in the room, which is very furry and comfortable, and the little monsters are not afraid of how to roll around.
"Finally, this is Eggy's collection room!" The little monster finally showed his collection room. As a frugal little monster, he has collected a lot of "baby" now. At this moment, all his "baby" from before are here. In addition, the "tattered mountain" that had been piled up in the yard before has also been transferred to this room, waiting for the black egg to return to have time to reconsider Classification.
Holding up a little index finger, Heidan proudly said to Tweet, "A Jin said that the furniture that Eggy chose is cheap, sturdy and beautiful! It's very eye-catching!"
"A Jin also said that in a few days when he renovated the collection room at home, Dandan would also accompany him to buy furniture!"
Ji Huan slanted another glance at A Jin who was following behind.
Then he bent over and said to Heidan, "Then, does Heidan like the new room here?"
Black Egg nodded heavily.
"Then, is Heidan planning to move here? After all, all your things have been moved to the house here."
The black egg opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and the little monster looked like a circle.
"And..." Straightening up, Ji Huan turned to look at A Jin: "When did you have a room at home for your collection room?"
"Oh, yes, is this Heidan's current room? When Heidan moved here, that room just happened to be your collection room, right?"
Ajin smiled slightly.
Hei Dan's mouth opened to the widest, and suddenly, the little monster "baha" put his whole body on Chiu Chiu's calf, and then cried with a "wow".
"Egg... don't... live here by myself... Eggy... want... live in the small room next to Jiu Jiu!"
Heidan cried and shouted that he would go back to his original room to live in. God knows that in the morning he even took Jihuan's room as his own, and told Ajin that he could sleep with Jihuan Ajin every night from now on. So happy…
Although he is sharp and smart, he is much more shrewd than ordinary little monsters, but Heidan is still a sincere child at heart.
As expected of the child brought up by myself and my grandfather!
Feeling a little dumbfounded and proud, Ji Huan picked up the little monster, took out his handkerchief from Ah Jin's pocket behind him, and put it on the little monster's nose, Ji Huan blew the little monster's nose.
"It's just a suggestion, Heidan didn't reject it, did he?" A Jin whispered to Ji Huan, looking at Ji Huan who was walking away with his nephew in his arms, he stepped up a little and chased after him quickly.
Except for this little episode, today's family dinner was all beautiful.
Because he almost fell for Jihuan's mother again, the black egg was stuck on Jiu Jiu's body all night, and finally Xiaohong came. With Jihuan's persuasion, the black egg turned back and left with Xiaohong. .
Ji Huan himself went with A Jin to entertain Lu Lin and Du Fei.
By the way, Dufay is fine.
Everything is beautiful.
The banquet reached a small climax when Jihuan brought out a plate of watermelon.
It was bought by A Jin when he was sent back to the human world. I don't know how it was brought back by the black egg. Not only was it brought back, but it was not damaged in the previous violent turmoil. It is rare that everyone is here today, so Ji Huan simply Cut this watermelon open for everyone to share.
Although it is a very large watermelon, there are too many monsters on the scene, and each monster can only be divided into a small piece.
The deliciousness of the watermelon was full of praise from the monsters. After almost every monster ate a small piece, Jihuan put the rest of the watermelon on a small plate and handed it to the black egg, so that he could give it to the watermelon he hadn't eaten for a while. Adan for a taste.
The old monster went to the backyard to pee.
Holding the watermelon in the small plate tightly, Heidan was waiting for Adan in the corridor where he had to go back. It was quite a distance from the place where everyone was eating and drinking, so it was rare to be quiet.
Standing with a plate for a long time, the little monster was tired from standing, so he sat down in the corridor, sitting upright, placing the watermelon plate on his short legs, looking at the two remaining on the plate. A piece of watermelon, although the little monster wanted to eat a piece, but when he thought that it was for Dan, he forcibly held back.
So when Adan came out of the backyard with his shorts on, what he saw was a little monster staring at the watermelon and motionless.
"Grandpa Adan, eat the watermelon!" Seeing that the old monster finally came out, the little monster's face was obviously relieved, and he immediately handed the watermelon over with the little claws.
"what is this?"
"It's a watermelon!"
"One piece per person." Grabbing a piece of watermelon, the little monster couldn't help but refuse, Adan forcibly shoved another piece of watermelon into the little monster's claws.
He thanked the old monster softly, and the black egg nibbled at the watermelon in small mouthfuls.
"Watermelon is delicious!" Although the pronunciation is a bit strange, Black Egg can still understand him.
"Well, it's the fruit of Dandan and Grandpa Chiu Chiu's hometown." Heidan said proudly.
"Hometown?"
"Yeah~"
"Where?"
"Bade Town, I haven't been to Dandan, but it's a very beautiful place." The little monster said, his dark face couldn't help showing a longing look.
"My hometown is Bade Town...Isn't it ┅┑?" Muttering, A-Dan looked down at the little monster who continued to eat melons, and then suddenly laughed again.

After joy comes sadness.
In the days that followed, Jihuan received countless invitations.
Funeral invitation.
Together with the invitation that A Jin received, in the days that followed, their family began to attend the funeral in a row.
At first, Jihuan didn't want to take Heidan with him, but after A Jin's persuasion, they finally attended together.
Wearing a tailor-made little black mourning dress, and holding his own flowers in his hand, Black Egg attended the first funeral of the devil.
It was a very fine morning.
They arrived at the funeral site early in the morning, surrounded by monsters with the same black clothes and black cloaks. This funeral was the funeral of a certain Yefaer boss. This violent high-ranking person was feared and hated by all monsters when he was alive. When the turmoil occurred, it turned into its original form and swallowed all the nearby subordinates, and used his body to withstand all the attacks. He did not survive, but in his belly, the monster he had swallowed before. But under his protection, he waited safely until the day of rebirth.
Adhering to the tradition of the monsters, this is a sharing feast.
After the solemn farewell ceremony, the two monsters were responsible for the division, and each monster who came to the funeral was assigned a plate with a small piece of the deceased's flesh on the plate.
The black egg was also divided into a small piece.
After seeing the whole process of cutting, Heidan knew exactly where the piece of meat came from. He glanced at Chiu Chiu a little scared, and then without waiting for Ji Huan to say something to him, A Jin squatted down first and watched intently. With the little black face of the little monster, he put his palm behind the little ridge of the little monster, and then said to the little monster seriously:
"His life in this life is over, but as long as his power is there, he can survive in other forms, be reborn, and even live forever."
"Don't be afraid, eat it."
Ajin patted the little monster on the shoulder encouragingly.
Look at him, then look up at Chiu Chiu, the black egg finally used a fork to fork the piece of meat, and then ate it in small bites.
Look at the monsters around you, one big and one small, and look at other monsters in the distance eating in grief.
Ji Huan suddenly thought.
It's not the first time he's attended a funeral, however, until today, he doesn't seem to really understand the existence of this cruel ritual.
Before going to bed that night, he said softly to A Jin, "If one day I die, will I hold a funeral like this?"
Ah Jin smiled beside him:
"You can't ask me for this."
"We are bound to die at the same time, our funerals will be held at the same time, and no one can handle another person's funeral."
Jihuan also laughed.
"Then I have to ask the black eggs."
"But don't worry now, it will probably be a long, long time later."
"Um."
"Go to sleep."
"OK."
"Good night."

The oldest living old man in the world, Wang Xiaochuan, is about to die
Having lived for more than 300 years, he is a miracle of mankind!
Everyone wants to know the mystery of his longevity.
He was obviously old and all his organs failed, but he couldn't leave until the others got the big secret.
With all kinds of tubes inserted into his body and an auxiliary respirator on his head, he lived through the final stages of his life in aging and decline.
Without his relatives and friends around, his friends, children, and grandchildren have all left first.
Every day, only doctors, nurses, research scholars surround him, and he has no one familiar with him.
This time, despite the other party's use of all means, he still felt the shadow of death approaching. This time, he thought that he could really be relieved.
He hadn't spoken to anyone in nearly a hundred years, and his vocal cords were nearly exhausted.
Before he moved into this institute, all his property had been confiscated and kept, and the only thing left was a piece of paper.
A household registration page used a long time ago, other information has been blurred, and finally only the name of "Black Egg" is left.
After checking that there was nothing wrong with the piece of paper, seeing that he was holding it tightly, the staff of the research institute tacitly let him keep the old piece of paper.
Holding the yellowed proof paper tightly in his hand, Wang Xiaochuan suddenly remembered what happened a long, long time ago.
He thought of his boyhood friend.
He couldn't remember the other party's name, and he couldn't remember the other party's appearance.
Just vaguely remember the face of the other party, clean, tough and calm.
and black eyes.
Is the other party no longer there
What's his name? Why can't I remember it
but…
It doesn't matter, after he dies, when he successfully meets the other party in another world, he will definitely be able to get his name from the other party's mouth again.
That must be a wonderful name.
"The patient's heart has stopped beating, and the No. 4 reagent has been injected again!" The surrounding doctors and nurses were chaotic. They seemed to be talking, but Wang Xiaochuan could no longer hear.
He opened his cloudy eyes.
In the crowd of white, he suddenly saw a touch of black.
Ah... not exactly black, and a bit of green.
Then, he saw a boy.
When the faces of everyone around him were blurred, he could only see the young man's face clearly.
It was a perfectly perfect face.
His skin was as white as snow, his lips were as red as flower petals, and his black eyes were as dark as...
Just like a friend in memory.
Then, he heard the other person speak.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, only the young man's voice was extremely clear.
He heard him say:
"Excuse me, are you Wang Xiaochuan?"
"Wang Xiaochuan from Bade Town?"
"If yes, then you're the one I'm looking for."
Bade Town
right! It's Bade Town!
How did you forget it? my old hometown...
My original hometown is there! It's there!
With his lips trembling, Wang Xiaochuan stretched his hand forward.
It was an extremely slender arm, with age spots all over the loose skin, extremely old.
This is the last strength of the old arm.
When he stretched out his palm, the paper he had been holding in his palm accidentally fell off.
No one was interested in this piece of paper, except the boy.
Unfolding the crumpled paper and taking a look, Wang Xiaochuan smiled when he saw him.
"Yes, you are the Wang Xiaochuan I'm looking for."
Then he reached out to him.
"You... who are you...?"
The vocal cords that had not been used for nearly a hundred years were swept away by the broken airflow, Wang Xiaochuan asked in a broken voice.
"The patient is talking! Quick! Quick! Listen to what he's saying—"
The surrounding noise seemed to be louder.
However, in the blink of an eye, it all disappeared.
It disappeared the moment the boy grabbed his palm.
Being pulled into the air by the young man, Wang Xiaochuan saw the huge black wings suddenly open behind the young man, and his eyes widened in disbelief. Wang Xiaochuan heard the other side say to him:
"My name is Satan."
"I'm-"
"Demon King."
After speaking, Wang Xiaochuan saw the corner of the other party's mouth slightly upturned, and slowly, the other party opened a bright red smile.
The author has something to say: Countdown: 2…1!
So, "The Demon King" ends today!
Sprinkle flowers!
